The story

Car Mods Australia operates as an online-first retailer of automotive performance and modification parts, targeting the Australian enthusiast market. The company has progressively layered consumer-facing embedded finance options — BNPL (Afterpay, Zip Pay) and digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) — into its checkout to reduce friction for higher-ticket purchases. There is no evidence of a significant business model pivot; growth appears to be organic expansion of SKUs and payment options.
